Feeding
True Grit Bison are fed minerals, hay, molasses, and oats based on their age. As bison get closer to finishing, we allow them free choice feed – meaning they have access to high quality oats, hay and water as desired.
Butchering
We select our butchers based on the cleanliness of their facility, expertise, and reputation. All our butchers have been approved by Alberta Health Services and are regularly inspected.
Handling and Vaccinations
We handle bison in a low stress environment to review the animals’ overall health and to prevent worms using Ivomec. A happy herd is a healthy herd.
Bison meat is full of flavour and packed with nutrients.
Bison meat has a lower fat content and a lower calorie count than beef. It is a complete protein – meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids necessary for the human diet. Bison meat contains high amounts of iron, zinc, and vitamin B. Additionally, the meat has high levels of selenium – a mineral that plays a critical role for metabolic and thyroid function, and helps protect the body from damage caused by stress.
